BBC NEWS — Sep 9 — First Great Western is starting what it believes is the first speed-dating service on a train. Passengers, who paid £45 for a ticket, travel first class from Paddington with a bell sounding every four minutes to signal time to swap partners. The dating service was set up following a survey carried out by First Great Western which found 13% of people have been chatted up or asked out on a date while travelling by train.
